Spoilers


Eyyyyyy. Like I said it’s very Interesting to see where the show wove in its Easter eggs. Steven gets this in the show but in the book it’s Nel.

“It am home, she thought, and stopped in wonder at the thought. I am home. I am home. . . Now, to climb.”

So is book Eleanor’s story going to end the same as show Nel’s bc…

Also I must admit this book is not scary at all to me

Eyyy. Minor spoilers.

So book Luke sings it instead of Poppy in the show 💃🏼

“The first was young Miss Grattan
She tried not to let him in
He stabbed her with a corn knife
That's how his crimes begin

The next was Grandma Grattan
So old and tired and gray
She fit off her attacker
Until his strength gave way…”

No way I’m crazy, Eleanor just asked if she could move in with Theo lmaoo

I can’t be the only one sensing an underlying tension between Theo and Eleanor?

Honestly the show feels like a love letter and revamp to the og story so far. I’m realizing, again, how many Easter eggs it has

“It’s harder to burn down a house than you think,” Luke said.


Ik he isn’t show Luke but if ykyk

“Insist upon your cup of stars.”

I’m realizing the show is just a collection of Easter eggs from the book and otherwise it’s entirely its own story set in a house once owned by Hill. And I’m not even mad at it.

Ik the book is completely different from the show, but it’s such a short read, I’m gonna give it a go.
